    Must we wait until the second week of May to find out?

    You are probably right if the players were signed to CCFC Holdings, but what if they were signed to CCFC Ltd and were quietly moved to CCFC Holdings at a later date (say, within the last year) under TUPE? If it is successfully argued the two companies are not inextricably linked, might it not...

    U21's today

    Or someone didn't want the cost of turning it on... It's good we have some promising youngsters coming through. And I'd be happy to see a few handed some first team experience too given the situation we find ourselves in.

    Geoffrey Robinson and Jim Cunningham have their say...

    Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it appears to me that Geoffrey Robinson is saying Coventry City Council should run up a white flag and hand a £113million stadium with more than £20million of taxpayers' money sunk into it to a private company because that private company won't pay the rent it is...

    Must we wait until the second week of May to find out?

    Swiss, I suspect you mean CCFC Ltd are in administration, not liquidation? Liquidation is the end of the line. A company in administration might recover or it might move into liquidation. But on your basic point, it's a mess. If the Golden Share is in CCFC Ltd and the player registrations are...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    James, I've summarised the Donaster situation before on a post (4th one down on this page): It is an interesting example to pick because I suspect the Keepmoat might be costing Doncaster Rovers far more than ACL's last offer to Sisu on the rent.

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Some of the rent CCFC already paid helped pay off the original loan which was £21million, so the principal is £7million lower than it would have been if the club had taken it on at the start and that's not counting the interest. By my quick calculations a £14million loan @ 2% interest for 30...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    Doncaster's stadium is paid for. The Ricoh still has ~£14million left to be paid off on it. The council also put £10million of equity into it. And Higgs bought Cov's share of ACL for around £6million. Do you think CCFC should be given the stadium for free and these other organisations should...

    ACL Shoot themselves in the foot & The Fans in the Head

    So you don't think Sisu not paying any rent for a year had anything to do with this mess then?

    Credit where it's due

    Good win. Well done to the players for not letting off-field dramas get to them. :claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

    Reminder about Libel etc

    One of the defences to a libel action is to prove your words are substantially true, but the court would look to you to prove it. You might need deep pockets to do that.

    Bollox to this, let's start the Doncaster Thread

    Given our home and away form this season, it's surely folly to predict the result when we don't know the venue for certain. If we're not at the Ricoh, I'll go for a plucky up-and-at-'em, we'll-show-'em victory! PUSB However, I do hope the game is confirmed as being at the Ricoh - and that the...

    Can someone please explain

    At least Pompey bought some success with their squandered money. What has City got to show for £60million? :facepalm:

    if ALC really cared about Coventry City

    If, as ACL say the Football League have confirmed, the golden share is in CCFC Ltd, then the club (CCFC Ltd) has been in admin since last Thursday. Doesn't that pre-date the cut-off point for the (first?) points deduction? The CET thinks the deduction would be this season (first line)...
